Hot Air Balloon Quilt in Embroidery Hoop

I made this Hot Air Balloon appliqué and set it into an embroidery hoop to frame it. I really like how this looks. Since I had some cloud fabric, I didn't need to add appliqué clouds. The pennant in white is felt and I attached it with running stitches and French knots. I have this in a gift shop, so I am hoping it will sell there. I have more embroidery hoops and can make more variations on this hot air balloon if it does sell. It might sell better in October when the annual International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is here in Albuquerque, so I'll see what happens now.

  1. Nice work on the hot air balloon. Somehow I just knew this was yours before I clicked on the link from Brenda's linky party!

  2. I absolutely adore this, Daryl!! Hot air balloons are so cool to watch. I remember traveling through NM in October one year and seeing them in the air. We pulled over on the side of the road just to watch a while. Thanks for bringing that memory back to me!! And thanks for linking up with Monday Musings!

  3. If it doesn't sell now, it will surely sell during the festival. We used to go to the Thunderbird Balloon Classic near our Phoenix home every year, and loved all the events.
